I feel the same way, everyone in the comments keep bad mouth the FL. But it keeps true to the timeline of how weddings used to happen.
Bro, I was mad at her until I read she was 22, that slap me hard her whole situation, I am not justifying, she was still a bad mother and her son needed her, but, I can understand where she is coming from, she wasn't write a bitch for the sake of being one, you can understand her action and the way she was thinking, I think that makes her a good character.
I agree with this
This all the way! Her character development is what makes the story so good!
I expected the MC to be annoying after reading the comments, but so far I find her very relatable. I think most young women would feel resentful when asked to give up their social life for childcare and then indirectly called a bad mother for attending a party after not having gone out for five years. And she couldn’t even resent those who expected that of her, because of the society she lives in. There is no excuse for being a bad mother, but I am not surprised that she was unable to embrace motherhood.
